Most streaming documentaries nowadays. They like to pad out true crime stories into nonfiction miniseries, when a feature-length film is enough time to tell the story.

I've gotten to the point where if the trailer grabs my interest I just read the wikipedia synopsis on what happened and I'm good lol. Some of those documentaries could have been an e-mail.

This is partially why I love Unsolved Mysteries more than most of these other series

Don’t you love it when the entire first episode of a true crime series is devoted to moody establishing shots and interviews with people saying how bad that thing was? Who needs to know what the show is even about?
